[Ranger Ric]

For tonight's game:

Wall starts with Huska as backup
Lunquist and Robertson start, Jones , Berolla and Reunanan scratched
Fritz, Reuschhoff and Luchuk start. Ronning and Sanchez scratched. Ronning did not start the second period of the last game but I didn't watch most of the 2nd and 3rd period. So I am guessing Ronning suffered an injury in the first period. Sanchez hasn't played in weeks and must be injured. The ECHL PTOs and Elmer are in the lineup as are Richards and Pajuniemi.

 

[Ranger Ric]

Pack down 3-1 after 2. Hunter Skinner turnover leads to first goal. Pack come back with Fritz making a cross ice pass in the neutral zone to Luchuk who brings the puck into the offensive zone and finds Reuschhoff breaking in alone and he beats Jeremy Swayman. Pack's fourth line with Lundquist and Robertson can't clear the zone and eventually Providence scores from in close. Then a Bruins power play goal. Pack being outshot 27-13. The Fritz-Luchok-Reuschhoff line is the only line generating much.

If you're looking for someone who has stepped up with the exodus of players it is Austin Reuschhoff. I have never understood why he hasn't been given an opportunity to play on a higher line with better players.

Was Skinner playing defense or forward?

He did well last year too Ric. He’s a guy I still have hope for that can be a 4th line NHL player.
Everyone knows I’m a fan of having bigger players on the bottom 6, at least ones that can play hockey. It’s a shame Austin had trouble getting minutes earlier this season.
He’s not overly physical, but he’s got a decent set of hands and he’s not a bad skater.
I like Knoblauch but some of the roster moves made by the pack have been puzzling to me to say the least.
I had Ruesschoff rated Higher then Gettinger, and then Gettinger starts taking the body this year. I have no idea what to think tbh.
Hopefully this kid can at least keep a regular spot from here out with the taxi squad stuff.
We’re going to need at least 1 internal young 4th liner to spell Reaves next season.
Probably 2 if Rooney prices himself out, which is likely imo

forward line: who??

 

[Ranger Ric]

Pack win 4-0 with Khodorenko and Reuschhoff (his second) scoring empty net goals and Keith Kinkaid pitching the shut out. Jones back in the line up replacing Skinner. Ronning out again. I think he was hurt Wednesday night. Reuschhoff with 4 goals in last 3 games has used the increased opportunity to show he should be given a bigger role with the Pack.

 

[Ranger Ric]

he played defense and turned the puck over giving up the first goal.

I just saw that Tanner Fritz was suspended for tonight, based on something he did on the 14th against Providence. Luchuk maybe around just for tonight, to replace him?

Wolf Pack’s Fritz suspended for one game

 

[Ranger Ric]

I just saw this also. The Pack list 16 forwards on the roster. But Sanchez and Ronning have been out for a couple of games. If they are still out and Fritz is suspended the team is down to 13 forwards. So yes Hayhurst and Luchuk likely will be released as Fritz, Ronning and Sanchez return.

I was sorry to see Berzolla get sent back to Jacksonville. In my very limited viewing he looked like he belonged.

[bmoak]

Berzolla is where Skinner was last year. Plays well, but no room at the inn.

 

[nyr2k2]

AHL TV is down to their mid-season rates. I think it's $40 if you just want the Wolf Pack games for the rest of the year. Does not include playoffs.

 

[Ranger Ric]

For tonight's game Kinkaid starts with Huska as backup. On defense Reunanen and Taylor are scratches. Up front, Ronning back in lineup. Sanchez, Hayhurst, Elmer and Fritz (suspended) scratched.

 

[nyr2k2]

Gettinger forced a turnover at the offensive blue line leading to a 2-on-1, hit Brodzinski in the slot who fired it high glove for the goal.

I think it was Ronning earlier who got rocked and was real slow getting up. EDIT: He was fine.

 

[Ranger Ric]

Pack win. Reuschhoff with two goals. One on a nice pass from Khodorenko from behind the net and Reuschhoff gets off a quick shot. The second is a power move driving to the net and beating the goalie.

 

[Leetch3]

that's back to back 2 goal games for rueschhoff. he's got a 4 game goal scoring streak. 9 goals on the season, 6 of them in the last 4 games.

 

[nyr2k2]

Brodzinski, Jones, and Gettinger back up to the taxi squad. Hayhurst released from his PTO.

 

[Ranger Ric]

With all of the call-ups and covid scratches the coaches are finally giving him more of an opportunity. I don't understand why they haven't given him this opportunity before. He plays physically, has a very quick wrist shot and skates well for a big man although skating is not his strength. He did very well last year when he was given a role on the 2nd power play. This year he had been playing 3rd and 4th lines and usually with AHL players rather than better players. Hopefully the coaches give him a run to show what he can do.

I just don't get it. I mean I do, cause I know the areas of the world a lot of these guys come from and the families they are raised in, but by now you would think they would have grown up and met different people.

Kick em out. Make an example of em.
